Am I being matched properly for league games?

[sassmastah]

I've been playing Outwitters since the launch and I've been in the Clever League the entire time, even since the recent ladder changes. I've made my way up from the bottom of my league to near the top and up until two days ago, I was consistently matched and playing against other Clever League players. In the past couple days, I've been consistantly put up against players in the Super Titan and Gifted Leagues. I am getting slammed, crushed, walloped, bamboozled, and other painful adjectives.

Does anyone know why I am no longer being matched against players in my own league? I understand that a large part of the matching system is player availability, but that can't be all there is to it, is it? Is this what normally happens when you near the top of your league? To test your skills and see if you're ready to move up to another league? Clearly, I am woefully unprepared for that. I miss winning games!

Any insight is much appreciated.
